given to women and they both vote and
hold Office. we may expect to hear
candidates for office sized up in the fol-
lowing scathing manner by women st

you think it's just perfectly lovely for
us to have the right to vote at all?'

thing. But do you know was just
worried to death for fear Madame Fit
TEN wouldn't have my dress done in
time for election day"
but she did, | see, and it's Just
lovely. was worried awfully over my
election bonnet. but it came at the last
the polls. Are you going to vote for
Mamie Berkeley for city treasurer"
mo. I'm not; we've been out for 4
long time. and l think she's just horrid. :"
81 think so, too; she dresses away
beyond her means now, and there'd be
no living in the same town with her if
she was city treasurer. What do you
think of Mrs. St John for mayor"
..Oh, l think she'd be lovely. She
has such a queenly manner and dresses
in such perfect taste; but most OF the
girls are voting for Howard Percy for
mayor; he's SO handsome. you know. "

and such dreadful flirt- Ee's engaged
himself to half the girls in town just to
secure their votes"
